BCA UNIX LAB

The document outlines a series of shell scripts for various tasks including counting characters in a string, checking leap years, determining even or odd numbers, calculating factorials, reversing strings, counting vowels, printing prime numbers, checking for palindromes, managing file permissions, compressing and decompressing files, implementing UNIX commands, checking file existence, and searching for patterns in files. Each lab includes clear instructions and code snippets for executing the tasks. The document serves as a practical guide for learning shell scripting in a Unix environment.
